＜Part1-4＞ Saijoki - The Mogami Chronicles -

The Conquest of Sagae

　　Pressing on with its attack, the Mogami force next attempted to push into Sagae, which lay close to Yachi. However, ruling Sagae was a young man of unparalleled physical strength by the name of Hashiba Kanjūrō. Gathering to his side the retainers of Shirotori Jūrō who had survived the battle at Yamagata, Kanjūrō commanded a large force of men who fought so valiantly that it was impossible to engage them directly. In battle after battle, Kanjūrō would invariably ride out at the head of his army, cutting into the enemy force furiously, and once again the first wave of Mogami attackers would be repulsed, and then the second.
　　One day, however, word that Kanjūrō was advancing upon the branch castle of Nakano reached the ears of Lord Yoshiaki.
　　“It is only to be expected of a scoundrel like him. Had I been of a mind to slay him, I could have done so in any number of ways, but his valor and my hope to make him a general in our armies had until now stayed my hand. He has consistently refused to recognize my many efforts to seek peace with him, and he now dares to penetrate deep into my own domain. There is no option left but to put an end to him.”
　　So spoke Lord Yoshiaki, and a punitive force was dispatched to deal with Kanjūrō and his men. Upon espying the great army of Lord Yoshiaki, even the staunch Kanjūrō did not hesitate to retreat to the moat newly dug by his men. When the last man of his army had crossed the moat, Kanjūrō caught sight of Sakusami Toneri, a youth of sixteen or seventeen, who hesitated to make the crossing and still lingered irresolutely on the side.
　　“What poor excuse for a man cannot cross a moat such as this? Come, let me help you across.”
　　So saying, Kanjūrō clasped Toneri to his side and used his pole sword to easily vault over this moat that was some three or four meters wide, and he and his men then retreated to the Sukawa River. There they were confronted by the rising river waters, but Kanjūrō easily pushed back into the river a ferryboat that had been hoisted by the Mogami soldiers onto higher ground. Loading his men onto the boat, Kanjūrō propelled the laden boat into the current with a great cry of “Ei!”, and then he quickly jumped on board himself. The waters of the river were fast-flowing, but Kanjūrō and his men succeeded in reaching the opposite shore, where they quickly took up position. Shoving the ferryboat into the river to be swept away, Kanjūrō addressed his enemy in a loud voice.
　　“If Lord Yoshiaki would like a fight, let him come over here and challenge us.”
　　The Mogami vanguard reached the riverbank, but finding themselves unable to cross a river so deep and fast-flowing without the aid of a boat, the soldiers were forced to return to their encampment. There, Lord Yoshiaki conferred with Ujiie Owari no Kami.
　　“Tomorrow, we will use our wits to put an end to Kanjūrō,” his lordship said. “What I suggest is this: when we have crossed the river, we may be certain that Kanjūrō will ride out to meet us in battle, and in anticipation of this, we will conceal an ambush of twenty skilled marksmen in the fields of high grass to either side of our vanguard. Once battle is enjoined, our vanguard will pretend to retreat, and Kanjūrō, being the hot-blooded and youthful warrior that he is, will no doubt ride brashly out at the front of his army in his usual manner. With twenty guns bearing down upon him, we will surely not miss our mark.”
　　“It is a wise plan,” responded Owari no Kami, “and preparations may begin at once.” It was thus that twenty skilled marksmen, so accurate that they would not miss a bird flying in the sky, were selected from the various Mogami forces, and the details of his lordship’s plan were carefully explained to them.
　　“Firing too hastily may cause you to miss the target, so it is better to fire as one,” they were told, and the signal on which their weapons would be fired in unison was agreed upon.
　　The next morning at the hour of the rabbit(1), the Mogami army sallied forth, crossing the Sukawa River and skirmishing with the soldiers they encountered, and when Kanjūrō took to the field, battle was enjoined. It was then that the Mogami vanguard, as previously arranged, feigned its retreat. Brandishing a large pole sword with metal plates affixed along the length of its shaft, Kanjūrō led his army in victorious pursuit of the retreating soldiers, as had been expected, and the Mogami marksmen closed in on him, firing in unison at the prearranged signal. It appeared that Kanjūrō had been hit, for his horse reared wildly and he was no longer able to stand up in his saddle, but he managed to reseat himself and ride away. Witnessing this, Lord Yoshiaki berated the group of marksmen. “How could you miss an enemy at such close range?” he demanded of them angrily, and a soldier by the name of Urano Magoemon stepped forward to respond. “We took careful aim before firing,” he said, “and there is no doubt but that we hit our target.” His words were proven true, for Kanjūrō had been struck by a bullet that had passed through his saddlebow and exited from his lower back, and it was around 4 p.m., at the hour of the monkey, that he breathed his last.
　　“This was an unfortunate young man,” Lord Yoshiaki said when he heard the news. “If he had challenged us from his stronghold of Sagae and fought a defensive battle keeping the Mogami River before him, he would not have been so easily vanquished. His rashness made him unable to recognize a strategy for victory, allowing him to be easily taken in by our ruse and cut down.”
　　Lord Yoshiaki thereupon divided his army into several divisions in preparation for battle, and launched the attack upon Sagae.

＜Part1-3＞ Saijoki - The Mogami Chronicles -

The Slaying of Shirotori Juro

　　In those days, in the Yachi region of Dewa province, there was a daimyo by the name of Shirotori Jūrō. Jūrō had it in his mind to subjugate Lord Yoshiaki and himself become the ruler of Dewa, and he initially sought to avail himself of the power of the central authority. He sent Lord Nobunaga the gifts of a great hawk and a horse from his own stable, falsely representing himself as “the Lord of Mogami in the Dewa province”. Being quite unacquainted with the affairs of this region so far from the capital, it was said that Lord Nobunaga took Jūrō at his word and sent him a courteous letter of reply.
　　News of this incident reached the ears of Lord Yoshiaki, who sent Shimura Kurobei, later to become Shimura Izu no Kami, to Lord Nobunaga with the official lineage chart of the Mogami family, along with the gifts of a great white hawk, one of his lordship’s own horses, and ten long spears forged by the master swordsmith Gassan. As this was a time of great unrest within the country, Kurobei found himself unable to proceed by the route originally planned, and approached the capital by way of the Echigo province. Lodging at the residence of Yamamoto Hikosaburō, he waited until Lord Nobunaga was ready to see him.
　　Announced as “an emissary from a distant region”, Shimura Kurobei was summoned to the palace courtyard with his entire accompanying retinue, down to the humblest attendants. After Lord Nobunaga had presented his guest with ceremonial gifts, he personally questioned Kurobei with regards to the circumstances giving rise to his visit.
　　Upon hearing the explanation offered by Kurobei and examining the chart tracing the lineage of the Mogami family, Lord Nobunaga immediately drafted a letter recognizing “Mogami Dewa no Kami”, or “Lord Mogami of Dewa”.
　　Lord Yoshiaki remained nonetheless determined to put an end to Shirotori Jūrō, who had attempted to usurp the position of the Mogami clan. He consulted with his vassal Ujiie Owari no Kami, who subsequently dispatched a messenger to Jūrō with the following proposal: “This disharmony between neighboring lords is an impediment to passage between our lands, which is a burden upon the people, and my master Lord Yoshiaki wishes to reconcile with your lordship. With your approval, we propose a marriage between your daughter and his lordship’s eldest son Shuri no Daibu Yoshiyasu to ensure good relations between the two families.”
　　Jūrō considered this proposal carefully, and through his mind ran the following thoughts: “Yoshiaki’s reputation for valor in recent years is great, and contending with him over the long term may be difficult. It might be to my advantage to use this intermediation of Ujiie Owari no Kami to make peace with Lord Yoshiaki. Allied together, we will expand our dominion over the neighboring lands, and when my own power has grown mighty, I will assuredly find some means of subduing him.”
　　Having thus settled the matter in his mind, he spoke. “It is agreed. Let there be peace between Lord Yoshiaki and myself.”
　　Following this, there was some coming and going of messengers from both sides, but, ever cautious, Jūrō had yet to present himself at Yamagata Castle in person.
　　After another consultation with Owari no Kami, an envoy was sent to Jūrō with the following message from Lord Yoshiaki:
　　“Of late, I find myself much impaired in health. I desire to see Lord Jūrō, and to place the ruling of this domain in his hands. And until my son and successor Shuri no Daibu achieves maturity, I wish to entrust to Lord Jūrō’s care the lineage chart of the Mogami family.”
　　Thus commanded, it seemed to Jūrō as if his very prayers had been answered, and he sent a reply saying that he would “present himself a few days hence”. In the intervening time, the Mogami side devised their schemes and bided their time.
　　When Jūrō arrived in Yamagata on the appointed day, what sight did meet his eyes but that of several generations of Mogami retainers, not a single man missing, lined up in defense outside the castle, a seeming indication of the seriousness of their master’s condition. In a writing room of the castle, a high priest of the Jōjuin Temple had set out a sacred altar over which he was offering prayers, and many Mogami family members were in attendance in the room adjacent to the chamber where Lord Yoshiaki lay on his sickbed. There was also much coming and going of physicians and diviners, and the condition of his lordship appeared to be grave indeed.
　　Although habitually a man of caution, Jūrō appeared moved by Lord Yoshiaki’s plight, and tears came to his eyes. Urged to “make haste to his lordship’s bedchamber”, he ventured to the bedside of Lord Yoshiaki and spoke to him respectfully. “Knowing not the full gravity of your lordship’s illness, I have been slow in coming to your side, and I offer my humble apologies. May it now please your lordship to command me as you will.”
　　At this, Lord Yoshiaki pulled himself into a sitting position and spoke. “It is with great joy that I greet this, our final meeting. If this is indeed the end for me, the daimyo of the other domains will no doubt seek to intrude themselves upon our affairs after I am gone, and I look to you to attend to this eventuality. And until my son and successor Shuri no Daibu comes of age, I place the lineage chart of the Mogami family in your keeping.”
　　So saying, he produced a single scroll, which Jūrō accepted. Thrice he raised it reverently to his head, and while the words, “With this, I become lord of Dewa,” did not actually pass Jūrō’s lips, his face plainly betrayed the thought. It was then that Lord Yoshiaki pretended to shift, pulling from under his bed a sword that had earlier been placed there, and in a single movement he slashed at his enemy. The suddenness of this attack took even the valiant Jūrō unawares, and, mortally wounded, he collapsed to the ground.
　　The attendants of Lord Jūrō had been placed in a large hall under the pretext that they were to be given a meal, but upon the signal of a drum beat which sounded in the interior of the castle, a contingent of young samurai who had been lying in wait emerged to surround Lord Jūrō’s men on three sides, cutting them down until none were left alive. Immediately thereupon, the blowing of a conch shell trumpet sounded the call to battle.
　　Kumazawa Chikaranosuke took to the field with a force of fifty ashigaru(1) foot soldiers, and as Takahashi Kazue, Shimura Tōemon, and the other Mogami generals followed with their men, Lord Yoshiaki pulled his horse near and mounted it gracefully. Selected from the 300-strong unit of spearmen and armed with long spears forged by Gassan himself, the “Chosen Thirty”, a group of men so powerful they were designated with the names of fierce beasts, surrounded his lordship, who was accompanied by a mounted bodyguard made up of such valiant warriors as Takahashi Sezaemon, Ōnuma Hachibei, Hosoya Takuminosuke, and Hosoya Gon’emon. With the lust for battle coursing through their veins, the Mogami force launched its assault on the Yachi domain.

＜Part1-2＞ Saijoki - The Mogami Chronicles -

The Passing of Lord Yoshimori

　　Tracing the lineage of the Mogami clan far back in time to its progenitor, it was Lord Shuri no Daibu Kaneyori, descended from the Seiwa Genji line, who entered the domain of Yamagata in the Mogami district of Dewa as provincial inspector(1) of the region on the 6th day of the eighth month of Enbun 1(2), the year of the monkey. Kaneyori passed away on the 8th day of the sixth month of Kōryaku 1(3), but the family line has continued uninterrupted for many long years since then, with Lord Yoshiaki eighth in the line of Mogami lords(4).
　　When Lord Yoshiaki was in his sixteenth year, he accompanied hisfather Lord Yoshimori to the village of Takayu to bathe in the healing waters of the local hot springs. There father and son spent a few pleasant days hunting deer and birds, but one evening a group of several dozen local thieves launched a night raid on their place of lodging. Lord Yoshimori’s personal attendants emerged to fight and rout these bandits, and Lord Yoshiaki also dashed unhesitatingly into the fray, wounding two bandits and grappling with and slaying another with his sword. Lord Yoshimori was deeply proud of the valor his son had displayed before his very eyes, and the following day he brought forth his famed sword Sasagatana(5), which had been forged by the swordsmith Sadaie and passed down through the Mogami family. “The sword you see before you,” he told his son, “was presented to me in my seventeenth year on the battlefield at the entrance to Narage, when I distinguished myself in battle there. As your actions here have shown your valiance to be no less than mine, I hereby bestow this sword upon you.”
　　Filled with an immeasurable joy, Yoshiaki accepted the sword given him, and he and his father subsequently made their return to Yamagata Castle. It was many years hence, from the middle of the third month of Tenshō 18(6), that Lord Yoshimori declined in health and became confined to his bed. Lord Yoshiaki attempted many medical remedies, but all were without effect, and on the 17th day of the fifth month, Lord Yoshimori passed away at the age of 70. After his death, he was given the Buddhist name of Eirin, and the funeral ceremonies held at Ryūmonji Temple, constructed by Lord Yoshimori in advance of his passing, were the grandest that had ever been seen.
